Very Cool!

I dig the Red Shadows despite not knowing much about them. The characters look so cool IMO

 

[Dark Horse]

Thanks mate. Hopefully as I populate this thread, folks will get a better heads up on them.

 

[Tofujesse]

Nice work.

 

[K-Tiger]

Very Cool!

I dig the Red Shadows despite not knowing much about them. The characters look so cool IMO

I think parts of their character designs have potential to be added to real-world military uniforms to make an enemy force that no longer look like what they are, children's comic book stooges. Very similar to Cobra in that respect.

It is thought the fearsome Skeletron was once a Action Force general mortally wounded in combat and captured by Baron Ironblood. Now housed in a titanium endoskeleton, Skeletron is the Red Shadow's own terminator. A powerful, ruthless and lethally efficient killer.

"Whether he was once a man or not has no meaning anymore. Skeletron is now nothing more than a killing machine."

The Skeletron is wicked!

No. #9 Kraken Prime

Code Name: Kraken Prime
Personal Name: None
Action Force Code Number: None
Primary Military Speciality: Underwater Combat
Secondary Military Speciality: Deep Sea Sabotage
Birthplace: Frozen Wastes of the North Pole

As the deadly Kraken soldiers were cloned and used for battle, some mutations occured. All but one perished due to mental or physical instabilities. The surviving mutation thrived and grew to an enormous size, and it's scaley, dense hide proved bulletproof to small arms fire. Faster, stronger and far more vicious than it's clone cousins, Kraken Prime retains it's primordial sentience yet serves Baron Ironblood as master of his Kraken race. Known to consume the flesh of fallen enemies, Kraken Prime is a living nightmare that threatens the very existence of the Action Force team.

"A creature of nightmares. Kraken Prime is a flesh eating monster"

 

[Monkeywrench]

Really dig the Kraken Prime!

 

[Dark Horse]

Thanks mate!

No. #10 Escape armour (Iron Shadow)

"Developed by Red Laser and Baron Ironblood's top scientific minds, the Iron Shadow escape armour was designed to break Red Shadow officers from captivity should they be taken hostage by their enemies. Traditionally it would be fired much like a missile from high altitudes (usually mounted on a Roboskull fighter), to not only destroy the captive's holding cell, but also to enable the captive to fight his way to freedom.
Armed with modular weapons to suit the situation, high density armour to protect the pilot, an internal air supply, jet thrusters to enable short range flight, and a powerful crushing claw, the Iron Shadow is the perfect tool to rescue top tier Red Shadow operatives from behind enemy lines".

 

[Dark Horse]

No. #11 Red Vulture

Code Name: Red Vulture
Personal Name: Unknown
Action Force Code Number: None
Primary Military Speciality: Combat Driving
Secondary Military Speciality: Infantry
Birthplace: Unknown

Ex get-away driver for Paris gang. Ability to repair any machine breakdown. Explosives expert and familiar with all hand guns ever produced.

No. #12 Muton Alpha

Code Name: Muton
Personal Name: None
Action Force Code Number: None
Primary Military Speciality: Destruction
Secondary Military Speciality: Extermination
Birthplace: None

Even more powerful and heavily armoured than the original Muton, the Alpha model is the ultimate first line of attack.
Capable of operating in any envioronment, and with no known weaknesses, the Muton Alpha is the ultimate machine of death.
It houses multi micro rocket launchers and a chaingun on it's head, allowing the incredibly powerful arms to smash enemy tanks and building to pieces. Powerful enough to lift approximately 20 tons, the Alpha model is virtually unstoppable.
The CPU is a cutting edge AI device totally programmed by Baron Ironblood to achieve the Red Shadow's aims, and is completely hack proof and booby trapped with a mini nuclear device should it be tampered with.

"The Muton Alpha is death. Plain and simple."

 

[Dark Horse]
